What
is
MIDI?
MIDI
(Musical
Instrument
Digital
Interface)
is
the
international
standard
for
digital
communication
of
electronic
musical
instrument
data.
This
means
that
any
equipment
which
has
a
MIDI
terminal—such
as
electronic
musical
instruments
and
personal
computers—can
easily
exchange
digital
data
with
other
MIDI
equipment
without
resorting
to
complicated
conversions
or
connec-
tions.

What
can
you
do
with
MIDI?
Control
another
connected
MIDI
keyboard
By
playing
on
one
MID!
keyboard,
you
can
produce
a
performance
on
one
or
more
connected
MIDI
keyboards.
If
different
sounds
and
effects
are
assigned
to
each
keyboard,
one
person
play-
ing
on
one
keyboard
can
produce
an
ensemble
performance
of
many
instruments.
Another
use
would
be
to
centrally
control
the
sounds,
effects
and
volumes
of
connected
instruments
on
one
keyboard.
Automatic
performance
on
the
keyboard
If
performance
data
for
a
MIDI
instrument
is
stored
in
a
computer
or
MIDI
sequencer,
the
Stored
data
can
be
used
for
automatic
perfor-
mance
of
the
MIDI
instrument.
Synchronized

Play
along
with
a
connected
MIDI
sequencer
or
rhythm
machine
